A new Andersen storm door gives your home a facelift. After you mount the storm door into the door opening, install the handle. Andersen storm door handles generally come in three parts: the latch, the interior handle and the exterior handle. Insert each part into the proper location and use screws to secure them in place. Hand installation does vary slightly from door to door so, if possible, refer to the manufacturer's directions.
